Manhattan

I won't run into you in California
So I came out digging for a little hope
I hate it here but I would stay forever
If it meant I didn't have to go back home

There’s nothing to avoid here
Nothing to regret
Not everything’s about you and there’s so much life that’s left

There’s no constant reminder
Of the both of us back then
Our city’s just a memory that I’m trying to forget

Past curfew in the village
Dared you to and you did
It’s all in the past, but it happened

Your place on 23rd street
Passing it still hurts me
I’ll never go back to Manhattan
Oh, I’ll never go back to Manhattan

I think you’d find it all a bit pathetic
Trust me, babe, you’re not the only one
I might just be too sensitive for heartbreak
So maybe I should stay away from love

Cause I liked what we had when we had it
But it doesn’t feel good to remember we lost it

Past curfew in the village
Dared you to and you did
It’s all in the past, but it happened

Your place on 23rd street
Passing it still hurts me
I’ll never go back to Manhattan
Oh, I’ll never go back to Manhattan

I’ll never go back to midtown
Remember when I snuck out?
Met you by the station
Told you it was late and
You said “Give me 10 minutes, I’ll be quick”
Said you loved me, that was it
Said you loved me, swore you did
Oh I’ll never go back to Manhattan
I’ll never go back to Manhattan
